Propeller Tip Speed and Mach Calculator
Propeller Tip Speed and Mach: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers propeller diameter and RPM. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Propeller Tip Speed and Mach Calculator is a planned calculator in the transport section of Super Calculator, covering aerodynamics.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: propeller diameter, RPM, true airspeed and temperature.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Tip speed = sqrt((pi times diameter times RPM divided by 60) squared plus TAS squared).
Written for builders avoiding the noise and efficiency penalty of transonic tips.
